Criminal charges will not be filed against a Champaign police officer accused of using excessive force.
Champaign County States Attorney Julia Rietz says after reviewing Rush's disciplinary history, she's found no legal basis to proceed in criminal court.
However, she says the office is now concerned about Rush's judgement and decision making in crisis situations.
Rush has been named in four excessive force lawsuits with three resulting in financial settlements.
